Chapter 221 Meat Pad
When they were out of sight, Shang Wan touched Lu Chengjing's waist with his elbow and said, "Ms. sir, you have to work hard. People are powerful, and if they anger someone, they have to deal with our little spirit." Medicine Pavilion, we have to close."
The people will not fight against the officials is not just an empty phrase.
Even if Zhongli is willing to agree to her conditions, there is no guarantee that he will not violate her terms. Even if there is a contract, who makes his father the Marquis?
At that time, the contract will be nothing more than a piece of waste paper with a seal.
Lu Chengjing understood what Shang Wan meant, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he nodded lightly.
Shang Wan: "Things at home are already going smoothly. If you carry Shitou and Xiaohuan in hand for half a month, they can take over the big stall at home, and I will watch over them. Nothing will happen. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, you will Go back to the county to study."
"Um."
Shang Wan looked up at the blue sky, but stretched out his hand to poke Lu Chengjing's waist and joked: "The future champion?"
Lu Chengjing chuckled, raised his hand to grab the hand that was poking at his waist, and intertwined their fingers.
He asked in a low voice: "If I fail to pass the exam, will my wife divorce her husband?"
"Well..." Shang Wan lowered his head in deep thought, "Then I have to think about it carefully."
Lu Chengjing shook their intertwined hands, obviously dissatisfied with this answer.
Shang Wan turned to look at him, and his words were brisk and playful, "Look at me, I'm young, beautiful, capable, and able to make money, so why should I wrong myself?"
Lu Chengjing thought about this question seriously and nodded in agreement: "What the lady said makes sense."
"so?"
"You should do your best for your husband." Lu Chengjing held Shang Wan's hand tightly and placed it on his chest.
The corners of Shang Wan's lips curled up, and he was about to tease his fox again, when out of the corner of his eye he saw a round dumpling suddenly fall out of the threshold.
"Yuanyuan!" Shang Wan pulled Lu Chengjing and pushed down with his backhand, letting Lu Chengjing sleep on the ground and using Yuanyuan as a meat mat.
Lu Chengjing was in a state of confusion: "???"
The little baby who fell into his father's arms blinked his big eyes, looked down at his father, raised his little hand and patted his chest fearfully.
It was so dangerous, I almost landed on my face.
Shang Wan bent down to pick up the baby, patted her little butt, "Did you fall?"
Yuanyuan shook her little head and turned to look at her father.
Lu Chengjing stood up silently and rubbed his chest, staring at Shang Wan dimly.
Shang Wan laughed dryly and raised Yuanyuan, "Are you willing to let your daughter fall to the ground?"
Of course Lu Chengjing couldn't bear it.
"Daddy, okay!" Yuanyuan's big, bright eyes curved into crescents, and she smiled sweetly at her father with her small mouth.
The little guy rushed over and massaged his father's chest considerately, pouting his little mouth and purring.
No matter how great the depression in Lu Chengjing's heart was, it disappeared.
Shang Wan helped pat the dust on Lu Chengjing's robe and led him back to the store.
Closes in the evening.
Shang Wan invited everyone to have a nice meal at Qionghua Restaurant opposite.
Aunt Zhou and others told Shang Wan not to spend any money, as the food at the restaurant next door was very good.
Shang Wan insisted that it was a good start today and could not do without everyone's help, so it was just a good time to celebrate.
The children were naturally very happy and surrounded the adults to the restaurant.
The meal was enjoyed by both the guests and the host, and everyone hurried out of the city before the city gate closed.
Two oxcarts and one donkey cart were full of people, and the children chatted and laughed all the way until they reached the village.
Everyone went back to their homes and talked about today's events with their families.
——"You didn't see that scene. The people in Ula Ula can hardly stand in the store."
"Hey, you can make a lot of money, right?" "I've spent a lot of money. Today's medicines are half price. That's just throwing away money. I feel bad when I see it."
"It's not your money, and I don't feel sorry for you. Why do you feel sorry for me? Are you going to help in the store tomorrow?"
"I really want to go. I only pay two cents a day for talking, smiling faces, taking care of the food, and having tea in the afternoon. Where can I find such an easy job? But the shopkeeper has already chosen someone."
"Oh, why don't you know what's going on? How could someone else be chosen?"
"You still have the nerve to criticize me. I've been away for a day anyway. How about you?"
"Oh! That's all. Let's prepare the medicinal materials carefully. If we do well, we can make a lot of money."
"No, I just hope that the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion will continue to be open for a long time, so that our family can have more income in the future, so that we can choose a good marriage for our daughter."
·
——"People in the city are rich, so they bought a bottle of all-purpose ointment worth ten taels of silver without blinking an eye, and even bought several boxes."
"I wouldn't be willing to spend that money if it were me."
"Go, what do you know about digging in the fields? Hey, smell it, the white jade paste is very fragrant. Miss Xiaohuan put a little on my wrist, and now I can smell the fragrance. Wait until I have it If I have enough money, I’ll buy a box and try it out.”
"It smells good, but you have such an old face, and you are so skinny. No matter what you do, you are the same. Why are you spending so much money? Like I said, save the money so that you can find a wife for your son." "
"I can spend the money I earn based on my own skills however I want. Don't you still need a wife for my son? If you, the father, don't work hard, how can you expect me, the mother, to fail?"
·
——"Shopkeeper Shang is really willing to spend money to build cabinets with colored glaze, which is the first in the city. When the sun shines, it shines brightly. If I have a piece, I have to offer it."
"I'm thinking about nice things. How can we have such nice things in our family?"
"It's not available now, but maybe it will be available in the future? The shopkeeper of Renshang told me that he wants me to go to the store to help tomorrow, but there are still a lot of things at home."
"Hey, what's going on at home? Leave it all to me. Just follow the manager Shang and work properly. Maybe our family will count on you in the future."
"Then you have to keep an eye on the medicinal materials in the house. Remember to take them out to dry in the sun tomorrow and look through them more. Don't be lazy."
"I know. I still have two salted duck eggs at home. I'll boil them for you tomorrow and take them with you. Don't go hungry."
…
Conversations like this were happening in various houses, but Shang Wan didn't know about them.
She stayed up all night last night and had another tiring day today. The excitement wore off and she almost fell asleep.
The others were also so exhausted that they fell asleep in the room unconsciously.
The next day, the whole family got up late.
The sun shines in through the window and dances on my eyelids.
A sudden scream woke up everyone who was still sleeping.
"What's wrong? Did you get lost?"
"Is there another thief?"
"Oh, this light is so dazzling."
Child Chu Xu rushed over from the front yard with a chicken coop on his head and banged on Xiaohuan's door, "Aunt Xiaohuan, what's wrong with you? Did you see a mouse?"
"It's not a mouse." Xiaohuan opened the door, fully dressed and holding a wooden comb in his hand.
She turned Chu Xu over and said while combing the child's hair: "I went to bed late, and we have to rush to the city to open the door. Are my sister and brother-in-law up?"
Chu Xu wanted to shake his head, but his hair was still being pulled by Xiao Huan and he didn't dare to move.
"No one got up except me."
Xiaohuan combed his hair quickly and patted him, "Go and call everyone. I'll go to the kitchen to cook some noodles. Let's eat and leave."
"good."
